Forum Marketing – Free Quality Traffic

Honestly, did you ever think about forum marketing?

You have been registering at some stage with a forum, have you not? And usually the forums you would stick to and revisit every so often or even on a regular base are discussing topics you are interested in or that are your favorites and you are familiar with.. so you might know a lot about it.

Now, did you ever think to make this a traffic source for your own website or blog ? So what is forum marketing? How does it work?

A Few Rules

There are a few rules you want to “obey”, otherwise it won’t work very well:

• Attitude: try to appear as natural as you can. People who are down to Earth and contributing to help or inform forum buddies have an easier life. They are soon respected and often seen as an expert in that particular niche. So people start to trust you. And… people love to buy from people they know and trust.
• Signature:  keep it modest and short. Hard selling or even affiliate links can lead to a ban from the forum. Again, it depends on the subject the forum is about: on online income and IM forums this is usually handled less strict, although most won’t let you use links to affiliate products.
• Language: never use profanities or offending language. You will easily loose trust.

How exactly will you get traffic ?

One secret behind getting traffic to your site from forums is to look for forums about the same topic your site concept is about.

And the other “secret” is to be a persistent, regular contributor who can bring solutions to niche specific problems.
